§ The result
Dover leads Loxo on 5 of the 7 criteria.
Dover scores 45 and Loxo 37 under rubric v1.0 — an 8-point gap inside the Sourcing cohort. Dover leads 5 of the 7 criteria and the remaining 2 are level, so Loxo is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 5 Dover leads is Customer Documentation, Dover 60 to Loxo 58. Bias Audit Transparency is both the widest raw gap and the heaviest weighted swing — Dover 52, Loxo 20 — and at an 18% weight it carries 71% of the weighted advantage Dover holds across the 5 criteria on that side of the table.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 5 figures above sum to +8.2 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 8.2 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads +8 beside that +8.2.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
